According to Rutherford , electrons move around the nucleus at very high speed. How did he correlate this with the stability of an atom ?
Answers
By Gold foil experiment
Answer:
(i) Forces existing between electrons and protons
(ii) Forces acting to counter balance columbic forces.
Explanation:
We know a structure of an atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons. This was accurately presented after several scientists came up with different models. The classic model of an atom was given by Ernest Rutherford called the Rutherford atomic model or Rutherford model of the atom. However, it is not considered the accurate representation of an atom anymore. Let us know more about this model.
A British Physicist “Ernest Rutherford” proposed a model of the atomic structure known as Rutherford’s Model of Atoms. He conducted an experiment where he bombarded α-particles in a thin sheet of gold. In this experiment, he studied the trajectory of the α-particles after interaction with the thin sheet of gold.
